Friday, Maren iu, i-u. PATAL SHOOTING AT LLORKE Negro Killed by "Top" Collier, Who Is Himself Wounded. Elloree, March 14-A homicide occurred at A. S. Way's plantation about five miles from here, last night about 7 o'clock, as a result of. which Browin, Oliver, colored, was killed, and Manly Collier, white, familiarly known as "Top'" Col -lier, lies seriously wounded. There were no eye witne~sses to the trageldy, and the details are maggre. It ap pears that young Collier drove from is father's place, which is only a .Drt distance from the road to his me, to deliver a message to Mr. av, and when he reached the nt gate spoke to the cegro anid asked him what he was doing out there in the dark whereupon the ne gro cursed Mr. Collier and com-1 menced firing upon him at close range, the balls taking effect in the arm, one passing through. the palm of the hand and another striking him in the mouth, knocking out two teeth and splitting the tongue. Mr. Collier, wtho was armed, fired upon the negro three times, each shot tak ing effect, the last one striking the negro just below the heart. Oliver ran off into the road a few yards distant and fell dead. Mr. Colleir was taken into the Way home, where his wounds were dressed, thence to his father's home. His physicians, Drs. Browning and Green, say that it is impossible to state at this time, what will be the outcome of his wounds as they have been unable to locate the ball that struck him in the mouth. He is resting easy to night, and it is possible that he will recover. The shooting is shrouded in mystery, and it is not known for what reason this negro fired upon Mr. Collier with deadly intent, loosing. A jury was empanelled and the verdict, in substance, was in ac cordance -with the above. STRTK ORDERED. 25,000 Piremen Called Out on West ern Railroad-Railroads May Ask Help. Chicago, Ill., March 15.-At mid -night W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotve Fire men and Enginemen, announeed that a strike of 25,000 firemen on practi eafly all the Western Railroads had been called. Thought Danige.r Point Passed. Chicago>, Ill., M*arch~ 14.-Both sides in the controversy between the 25,000 firemen of the Western rail roads and the railroad managers suggested an .attitude of waiting to-day, and while the union officials .

Prc 0.and $1.00 ~ Dr. Earl S. Sloan, deelared that a strike seemed immi nent, the railroad managers assert the danger point had been passed. It was said to be likely that the mana.gers' committee, headed by W C. Nixon, general manager of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad, would invite W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and his committee to another joint confer ence. The Brotherhood has taken the position that unless all the questions in dispute are submitted to arbitration under the Erdman Act, a strike on all the systems be tween Chicago and the Pacific coast would be resorted to. The railroads today reiterated. their assertion that they would stand "pat" on refus ing to submit to arbitration any thing but the wage demand. "We know a strike will not be called, " said 0. L. Dickeson, assist ant to the president of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. "That stage of the game is over. It is now only a question of our getting together. The men will readily see that a strike would be preposterous." "The railroads are trying to make light of the situation," said Presi dent Carter. "It is indeed critical. We have been authorized by a vote to call a strike unless they make concessions and we have asked for an arbitration of the whole matter.'' Mr. Carter said, the decision to strike had been reached at a meat ing of forty-three members of the Western Faderated board of the Brotherhood,. each member repre senting a Western road. The exact hour at which the men are to walk out, he said, would be decided upon tomorrow, and every member of the Union between Chi -:ago and the Pacific coast would be then. informed by telegraph when to quit work. - Strike Postponed. Chicago, Ill., March 15.-Danger of an immediate strike of 27,000 lo comotive firemeni on W*tern rail roads, and the contingent throw.ing Iout of employment of more then 1125,000 other employees, was avert ed to-day through the acceptance of mediation from the Federal author ities at Washington. At the request of the general managers of the forty-seven Westerni railroads in volved, Chairman Martin A. Knapp, of the Inter-State commerce com mission, and Commissioner of Labor C. P. Neill telegraphed an offer of Federal mediation to the union offi ers. This offer was accepted. W. S. Carter, president of -the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen amd Enginemeni, stipulating that aiet'ion must begin without delay. The appeal to Washington was ta ken as an eleven.th hour move to prevent a walkout, 'which, it was de elared, threatened the greatest rail road strike since that of 1894. Thir ty-seven members of the Western 1i'ederation board of the Brother hood last midnight formally voted for a strike. The hour for striking had been set/ for next Monday morning, and the members were prepared to start for their homes to put the strike into action, when the mediationl steps were ta.ken. The mediators~ Will come to Chica go, and, accordinig ti Mr. Carter, will not arhitrate t.he questions in .dispute, but will determine what shall be arbitrated. The questions involve wages, *'hieh both sides had agreed to arbitrate, and two other technical points,- involving prentos tion and representation ini the tIP ida:.. These latt* sub jects, the Brotherhood contends, musit be ar bitrated, but the railroads assert they cannmot~ be arbitrated, because they relate to internal union dis putes. "If the mediation falls through the strike will go righvt on, as plan ned,'' said Mr. Carter to-night. In a statement given out to-night the gen.eral managers said: "All prospects of a strike are over. There will be none. Settle ment of the whole controversy by mediation and arbitration is as sure.''

"The sole purpose of the census is to secure general statistical in formation regarding the population and resources of the country, and replies are required from individuals only in order to permit the compila tion of such general statistics. The census has nothing to do with taxa tion, with army or jury service, with the compulsion of school attendance, with the regulation of immigration, or with the enforcement of any na tional, Sta-te or local law or ordi nance, nor can any person be harmed it any way by furnishing the information required.

IPopularity, in many instanoes, has been a matter of a few days, a few years, or, perhaps, severa] -deoades. This- has been true of mnany otable personages, of any numrber of books and of not a. few periodi als. The trend of civilization, ,es pecially in America, is to demand the mod'ern-the' ap4o=date, in ev erything with which people eois ern themselves. This e>rplains the early death of so many hooks and magazines; the policy has been founded on some narrow prineiple that does not admit of change in conformity to the demand for ehange,. For this reason, as much as for any other, Popular Mechanics promises to' have a long a.nd pros perous life. The very nature of the publication givss it an option on the good thi-ngs of al1 the ages to come, and that good things will continue to come the habitual reader of the magazines stands convinel. In the last few months Popular Mechanics has attained: the matu.re stature of 150 reading pages. In the April number appear 268 articles and 268 illustrations, covering in sprightly and attractive fashion the full range of science and invention as developed since the publication of the previous number. A note worthy feature every month is H. II. W\indsor's editorials, conversa tional in tone and lucid in treatment f the subject discussed.
